JETHRO TULL - Salamander
Salamander ---
born in the sun-kissed flame.
Who was it lit your candle ---
branded you with your name?
I see you walking by my window
in your Kensington haze.
Salamander, burn for me
and I'll burn for you.

JETHRO TULL - Rock Island
<br />Savage night on a misty island. Lights wink out in the<br />canyon walls.<br />Two old boys in a stolen racer. Black rubber contrails in<br />the unwashed halls.<br />And all roads out of here, seem to lead right back to the<br />R...
